Mae and her three best friends attend a boarding school run by nuns and like to hide themselves away in a forgotten storage room in the library to watch hacked Netflix and eat snacks. But the members of this cosy Common Criminals Club turn detective when Mae opens the walk-in fridge to get some butter for their home economics class, only to have a cold corpse fall on her. And that’s not the only murder in the building. 

The friendships, teen drama, secrets and mysterious nuns at the centre of this murder mystery make it a page-turner with heart and there’s a satisfying blend of humour and peril. The characters are larger than life and great fun to spend time with. Middle grade cosy crime mysteries tend to fly off the shelves in the book corner at school and this fun, contemporary log book of the Common Criminals Club’s first investigation will make a fantastic addition to your murder mystery collection.
